Predicting Subsurface Optical Properties

Abstract

In this paper we compare the 3-D optical field generated by the Predictive Visibility Model (PVM) with the results of in situ measurements of inherent optical properties obtained during the Hamlet's Cove I Experiment near the West Florida coast. Preliminary results are encouraging and show that the PVM can qualitatively predict the evolution of inherent optical properties in littoral waters.
